It is the process of transforming a proposed or existing office space to make it fully functional and usable. Office fit out is a frequently used term in relation to new office developments, where the “frame” construction building is already completed developer. We are involved in the three fit out categories namely:

Shell and core fit out: Here this project type comprises of electrical works such and network cabling works of Category 5, 6 and 7 as well as Fiber connections. At this point the building project is comprised of lift shafts, cladding, external and mechanical works etc.

Category A fit out: At this level of finish, the focus is on adding items like blinds, raised floors, suspended ceilings, wall partitions. A very sensitive level at which we are involved in trunk designs, floor plan design and consult, as this may affect the end design plan when furniture and people settle in.

Category B fit out: Finally, after the Category A fit out, we have the closest category to office refurbishment since it encompasses all the type of finishes your office needs from furniture, kitchenettes, break rooms, boardrooms, branding and aesthetic final touches. Here your ICT equipment requirements come into fruition from Telephony, WiFi hotspots, Cabinets and Servers, Audio Visual Systems like Video Conferencing and your desired meeting room solutions.

In general terms an office fit out is the works carried out when a business moves into a brand new space while a refurbishment is works done when a business wants revive or refresh its existing work space.

The main reason is Change. For some businesses once they outgrow their current space they have to move into bigger spaces. The place the plan to move into may just be an empty floor space where they have to come up with a new floor plan determine how to encourage collaboration, speak to their brand promise, encourage easy accessibility of technology to the staff, make an impression against competing businesses, harness a modern, rustic or industrial look, etc.

Wouldn’t it be fun if in your weekly brainstorm with the team, two colleagues can write comments and points raised during the meeting at the same time on a whiteboard or label the new targets discussed? This kind of collaboration can be achieved with an interactive white board.

With an array of settings, for classrooms, boardrooms in corporate, to trainings; the interactive whiteboard IWB is highly utilized as a large interactive display board.  During meetings, presentations, classes and trainings the interactive whiteboards reacts to the user’s input whether it’s brainstorming, collaborate,  digitized operations and tasks, sharing messages, presentations, annotating content, images and documents in real time directly on the screen using a finger or a tool.

An interactive whiteboard (IWB), commonly referred to as a smart board or interactive board, is a large interactive display board that is in the form factor of a whiteboard. In the past, whiteboards were manufactured and designed for office use in small meetings rooms and brainstorming round tables.

Increase engagement in collaborative meetings. Rather than have hour long sessions with one-way presentations shared on PowerPoint, the IWB helps colleagues engage with the shared information. They can access, edit, save and share information discussed on the interactive whiteboard. 

Boost your communication. Interactive whiteboards are quite versatile allowing file sharing as well as the ability to share the screen with remote coworkers and clients. Thus al attendees have the same content of information. At the end of the presentation, the meeting facilitator will email, print and share the proceedings of the whiteboarding session.

Ability to effectively annotate your presentation documents. Make continuous changes effectively to your documents during your whiteboarding sessions with the IWB. Your modern team will enjoy the power of 3D modeling, hyperlinking, estimating, video links and other tools accessible that boost the quality of your collaboration and communication. 

More interconnectivity and data sharing with mobile connectivity compatibility. Interactive whiteboards give you the freedom to connect to Android and IOS smart devices in one single application. With the right hardware, users can connect interactive whiteboards to IOS and Android smart devices with a single application. This results in a greater allowing more data interconnectivity and sharing.

Information is available on your fingertips with Touch technology. Unlike in document sharing, with IWBs users can use their fingers to work with the touch screen without needing pointers, a mouse or even getting ink stains everywhere.

Basically, whiteboarding allows businesses to convert whiteboard collaboration to almost parallel editing. Most importantly it works well when colleagues are working with a client or outside party they are not well versed with. A whiteboard provides a very spontaneous setting for brainstorming and sharing ideas with opposing teams reducing formality.

Any collaboration technology today should be able to create a meeting room from any modern workspace with easy to use, schedule and remote management capabilities. Hence, it won’t matter if you are designing a small huddle space or a larger conference room, it’s critical to simplify and enhance meetings by providing the right collaboration technology.

1. Scalable Solutions – collaboration technology must be customizable to meet the needs of different meeting room spaces from huddles to larger, more complex conference rooms.

2. Intuitive solution – Users can enter and easily use the space without getting training on the system.

3. Flexibility – Users share and mirror content from their phones, tablets or laptops via a wired or wireless connection.

4. Security – To support scalable solutions to rooms within the enterprise, the system must be connected in a secure network for monitoring, remote support, and firmware updates.

LED Screens are flat panel displays used for video display, informational or decorative purposes. They are robust, come in an array of sizes and relatively affordable. Due to their higher resolution than projectors they are often an alternative to traditional projector screens.

 

Smart boards/ interactive whiteboard (IWB) – a large interactive display board that is in the form factor of a whiteboard. In the past, whiteboards were manufactured and designed for office use in small meetings rooms and brainstorming round tables.

In essence, a smart board will only function when connected to a computer, an LCD display, and a projector. Therefore, displaying content from a computer screen. Once connected, the IWB transforms into a large, touch sensitive version of the computer screen. Teachers and students can control the screen with a special pen or hand instead of a mouse. So in the case of a classroom, students and teachers interact with images, write notes, draw graphs, save, download and share info from the smart board.

Talinda is the top installer and supplier of Interactive Smart boards in Kenya. Also referred to as digital whiteboards or interactive boards, Smart boards promote collaboration among creators, doctors, students and colleagues for group discussion and team participation. Like flip boards, they are effective brainstorming tools. With this, participants can take notes, save, share them on-the-go and distribute them later.

Video walls is a special setup of multiple monitors of computer monitors, or video projectors tiled together to make one large screen. A video wall can be as simple as one image from a single source stretched across multiple screens. The video wall is useful in displaying several images from different They offer greater control, scalability, and creativity in meeting rooms.

Wireless presentation systems This is a device that lets you mirror content from a laptop or mobile device to a shared flat panel, screen or projector without the need to plug in cable making it an easy to use and time saving presentation tool. We supply Kramer Via and Barco ClickShare.

Speakers Our range of surface mount, ceiling mount and pendant speakers are designed to meet your specific needs. Your selection of speakers will depend factors such as aesthetics, size of meeting space, whether the meeting room ceiling is “sealed”, budgets and people in the meeting. 

Amplifiers & Subwoofers

Microphones Obviously, a huddle room doesn’t often need a costly wireless/wired system with individual mics for each participant since every voice can be heard with ease in small spaces. Nevertheless, mid-size to large meeting rooms cannot flourish with a single microphone in the middle of the table. Some speakers won’t be heard and even moving spots to speak can disrupt the meeting.

Microphone Options when deciding on the mics of choice factors that go into play include room layout, audio requirements of team, noise levels needed, wireless microphones, compatibility with BYOD infrastructure like laptops, installation method sought out, room architecture and design.

Ceiling Mics are ideal for decluttering meeting room with wires and lining your tabletop, while ensuring a 360-degree audio pickup. The mics are best suited for medium to large conference rooms. You are free to install more than one mic in the room to pick every single speaker. Pretty straight forward, ceiling microphones are mounted and embedded into your ceiling with an industrial finish or hang like a chandelier to blend with your décor. With high ceiling conference rooms, hanging microphone are often necessary to guarantee capture of every voice in the room.

Gooseneck Mics Like the name suggests gooseneck microphones have an uncanny resemblance to a goose’s neck. However, they are the best choice for guaranteeing perfect audio quality. Each seat is paired with a dedicated microphone. The advantage is they do not pick up background noise. On the flipside, they clutter your table with equipment.

Boundary/ button Mics The setup is fairly simple, these small square microphone is placed on a “boundary,” essentially a mounting surface. Typically, this mic is mounted and embedded within/on/under the table. They pickup voices of all speakers in front of them. They are common in most meeting rooms as they are relatively cheap, neat and great at picking up voices albeit at higher frequencies.

From your background music in theatres, your evacuation system in the conference rooms, your meeting room AV systems to your audio visual distribution and control system, we have all the right equipment for you. Your meetings your way. Here are some solutions you will require for the perfect system.

The unit switch inputs then it scales the output quickly so that your presentation looks seamless and correct. Some will include integrated multi viewers for windowing requirements and also audio amplification. Presentation switchers and scalers function as collaboration tools routing multiple audio and/ video sources to multiple audio and/ video destinations. Thus the matrix switcher accepts audiovisual signals from variant input sources such as cameras, computers – and thereafter routes the output to different destinations, like projectors, interactive smartboards, and video conference codecs.

Pop-ups and Table Boxes are table mount solutions for boardroom and conference room applications.

AV cabling works & software Talinda is your source for meeting room AV designs, infrastructure, software and solutions. We have a large selection of AV cables, connectors, links cables, wires and plugs for audio and video systems for AV equipment.

Cube-based video walls are provided by companies like Barco, who are market leaders in the space. Such video walls have a little projector mounted behind a display board. The projector and panel are integrated together to offer excellent output quality. In addition, the boundaries between different panels are less than 1mm. Recently, Barco has introduced a zero bezel video wall in which the bezel thickness is just 0.1mm with many additional features, that make the whole experience smooth and exciting. The only drawback with these is that they are available at a really hefty price.

These are comparatively lesser-known video walls, which give all the advantages offered by cube-based video walls but at a lower cost . Multiple projectors are installed to project output onto a much bigger screen. The output is 100% seamless This is because of a technology known as edge blending and geometric correction. Using a projector can increase the world of projection. A monitor , which is even 50 feet wide, are often illuminated by using just a couple of projectors. There are a number of advantages associated with them like possible use of curved screens, proper color calibration, and behavior like a single screen.
